"Nearly 200 stunningly realistic paintings and drawings bring the greatest fantasy epic of all time to life. Classical realism unites with contemporary storytelling as artist Donato Giancola explores the mythic grandeur and the iconic characters of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings saga."

As you say, “for fans of his artwork”. For myself, I must admit that I find Giancola to be the one professional artist whose Tolkien illustrations I can find no sympathy for whatsoever (of those that I have seen, obviously, but that is by now a rather diverse crowd).
